Business owners make difficult decisions every day. Situations come up that you may or may not be prepared for. Every day employers take steps to propel their business forward; inching closer to their overall goals and helping employees reach theirs as well. However, decision making isn’t easy. We all deal with things we do not want to and are forced to make the hard choices. But, not all decisions are made to be difficult, picking BASE® as your benefit administrator is easy and a decision you won’t regret.

I recently read an article about reaching your full potential and how the difference between headwind and tailwind has an effect on our perception of situations. Like riding your bike into the wind, facing challenges we are not prepared for can seem impossible. However, with the right resources and assistance to help face situations that come up, it can be easier. So now instead of riding into the wind, it is like going down a hill with your own expertise and confidence pushing you forward to a solution. This article stresses the importance of being grateful for the wind at your back and recognizing the push it gives you to reach the end goal.

BASE® is the wind at your back. BASE® Business Partners and clients around the country notice the extra strength we put behind our products and services. For example, with our ERISA Wrap, we just don’t hand you the documents and wish you the best, we provide a complete compliance package and guarantee that you stay within the correct regulations. Lisa, an ERISA Wrap client, recently shared, “My experience in setting up a BASE® ERISA Wrap has been incredible. BASE® is courteous and thorough, and their follow up is unlike any other company.”

All of our products work like this because the staff at BASE® works diligently on our customer service, setting us apart from other benefit administrators. When a BASE® HRA client first signs up, they receive the necessary information to walk them through the process of how the product works to ensure understanding and accuracy. Since not everyone is an expert when it comes to tax advantage benefit plans, we take the guesswork out of our products. Alex, an HRA client, states, “The BASE® staff takes a complex plan and makes it simple. The welcome packet, payroll reminder emails and customer service make the whole experience easy to understand. The plan has become part of my monthly routine and entering my expenses is so easy. What you pay BASE® is well worth it in the tax dollars you save.”

People are faced with difficult “headwind” decisions every day, but BASE® isn’t one of them. Selecting BASE® as a benefit administrator is a “tailwind” decision to provide you the push to reach your goals. Contact BASE® today to find out how you could benefit from our products and services!

No one has the answers to everything all the time. We look to others who are experts in their field and have hands on experiences relating to that topic. We seek advice and trust the knowledge they share and use them as a resource to make better decisions. I recently read an article about tapping other’s brains for your own personal breakthrough. That made me think of my life.

I am constantly looking to others for their advice and guidance, because again, we cannot be experts in everything. Just yesterday I asked my mom how to cook her famous lasagna. She gave me the recipe and walked me through how to make it just right. Now it didn’t turn out as good as hers, but I tapped into her knowledge of cooking and it came pretty close.

Then that made me think of BASE®. Every day we speak with people seeking advice on what they should do concerning employee benefits and tax-advantaged plans. A lot of business owners don’t even know they have these options to help them save valuable tax dollars. Our representatives walk people through our different products and services, provide benefit strategies and answer questions that come up.

Recently, a client out of Arlington, VA shared how using BASE® as a resource took something complex and made it simple and easy to understand. After speaking with BASE®, he was able to make better business decisions that led to valuable tax savings for his company. This example shows that utilizing someone’s expertise and tapping into their knowledge can be beneficial and allows you to make better, more informed decisions.

Our expertise and up to date information is what keeps our plans in compliance and penalty free. BASE® works hard to stay current on changing legislation and compliance regulations. Both BASE® Business Partners and clients have come to rely on BASE® as a resource when it comes to tax-advantaged employee benefits and compliance services. In fact, one client enrolled since 2000 stated, “I have always felt the staff was excellent and is always there to answer any questions with effective answers.” Another BASE® client said, “BASE® is courteous and thorough, and their follow up is unlike any other company.”

Utilizing BASE® and our expertise can help to assess employee benefit needs, and we can provide an initial analysis to develop a winning benefit strategy. Contact BASE® today to tap into the BASE® knowledge!
